(Reading, PA) – In connection with Minor League Baseball’s “Copa de la Diversion” initiative, the Reading Fightin Phils are once again excited to play as “Los Luchadores de Reading,” during Friday home games throughout the 2024 season, also known as Savage Auto Group “Fiesta Friday” at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Reading first introduced Los Luchadores jerseys prior to the planned 2020 season. It came a part of Minor League Baseball’s Copa de la Diversión, or “Fun Cup.” It was designed to embrace the culture and values that resonate most with participating teams' local U.S. Hispanic/Latino communities. The Fightin Phils introduced a brand-new Los Luchadores jersey prior to the 2024 season.
The R-Phils are excited to welcome back Savage Auto Group as the sponsor of Fiesta Friday. Additional sponsors include, Kitay Law Offices, Suburban Brewing Company, Carl’s Cards and Collectibles, Humane Pennsylvania, The American Diner, Star City Boxing, High Noon Sun Sips and Tito’s Hand Made Vodka.
Fiesta Friday’s will feature the R-Phils wearing their “Los Luchadores” jerseys, Hispanic/Latino food, and music, in addition to other cultural elements around the ballpark. The “Los Luchadores” logo was introduced by the R-Phils in November of 2019.
In 2024, the R-Phils, also known on Fridays as Los Luchadores de Reading, will host 12 Savage Auto Group Fiesta Friday’s this season. The dates are as follows:
Apr. 12, Apr. 26, May 10, May 24, June 7, June 14, June 28, July 5, July 12, Aug. 2, Aug. 16 and Sept. 6.
Many of our Fiesta Fridays also include exciting promotions, such as fireworks, giveaways and much more. You can see our full promotional schedule HERE.
The Luchador mask logo pays tribute to some of the most notable elements of the city of Reading. Embodied in the Luchador's mask is Reading's Pagoda, surrounded by 23 sun rays representing the Latin American countries and Puerto Rico. Down the bridge of the nose is Reading's Fire Tower. Home plate serves as the Luchador's mouth, with FirstEnergy Stadium's façade creating the upper lip. Below the chin are train tracks, symbolic of the historic Reading Railroad, and along the side are baseball seams, a nod to Baseballtown's rich history.
Fans can also purchase “Los Luchadores” apparel at the R-Phils Team Store or by going online HERE.
The Reading Fightin Phils return to FirstEnergy Stadium on Tuesday, April 9, to open the 2024 season against the Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox).
